The dot on this map represents Missouri. Based on your knowledge of the
anticyclone's wind direction, how would temperatures change between 2/11/2012
and 2/13/2012?
cold then colder
warmer then cooler
cooler then warmer
temperatures wouldn't change - cooler then warmer
Dynamic forcing of upper air currents will create:
upper air divergence at A that results in surface high pressure.
upper air convergence at B that results in surface high pressure.
upper air convergence at A that results in surface high pressure.
upper air convergence at B that results in surface low pressure. - upper air
convergence at A that results in surface high pressure.
This diagram features a(n)
anticyclone in the Northern Hemisphere.
cyclone in the Southern Hemisphere.
anticyclone in the Southern Hemisphere.

What location best represents a trough of low pressure?
Multiple Choice
A

D-d
If a gas is heated to a higher temperature and the pressure does not change, the:
Multiple Choice
temperature will increase.
density will increase.
pressure will decrease.
density will decrease. - density will decrease.
A parcel of air at the surface is heated which expands the air and increases the
parcel's volume. If the same number of air molecules occupy the greater volume,
density decreases. The increase in volume results in lower pressure. What will
happen to the air surrounding this parcel?
Multiple Choice
Denser air flows in to replace the rising air.
Less dense air sinks at the surface.
Less dense air flows in to replace the rising air.

More dense air rises at the surface. - Denser air flows in to replace the rising air.
If a gas cools under constant pressure, the molecules within it have ________blank
kinetic energy (motions) and can therefore ________blank.
Multiple Choice
less; be packed into a smaller volume
more; be packed into a larger volume
less; be packed into a larger volume
more; be packed into a smaller volume - less; be packed into a smaller volume
Pushing down on the sealed glass container causes the volume to ________blank
and the pressure to ________blank.
Multiple Choice
